But this ancient land was once home to many a power... and even death is not quite eternal. The commoners' great hero, Vatha Urusander, is being promoted by his followers to take Mother Dark's hand in marriage, but her Consort, Lord Draconus, stands in the way of such ambitions. The impending clash sends fissures throughout the realm, and as the rumors of civil war burn through the masses, an ancient power emerges from the long dead seas. Caught in the middle of it all are the First Sons of Darkness, Anomander, Andarist, and Silchas Ruin of the Purake Hold. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSteven Erikson brings to life this ancient and important tale set in the world he introduced in the \u003ci\u003eMalazan Book of the Fallen\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteven Erikson \u003c\/b\u003eis an archaeologist and anthropologist and a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop.
